Trivia[]
- Blossom hitting Princess with an uppercut and yelling out "Blossryuken!", is a reference to the Shoryuken, a powerful upper-cutting move often used as a finisher by the main characters Ryu and Ken of the Street Fighter video game series.
- The plot strongly slightly resembles the 1998 classic series episode Impeach Fuzz.
- Bubbles vandalized Morbucks campaign poster that said "Nobucks" was mentioned later in "Poorbucks".
- The second time Blossom is seen wearing her uniform, the first time since "Bubbles of the Opera".
- This is the third time to use a live-action stock footage.
- This is the last episode where Diego Molano works in the series.
- Princess Morbucks' message at the end of her campaign video is a parody of US President Donald Trump's ending line.
- It is unclear how Princess was able to fly during the debate.
- This episode is included on the The Powerpuff Girls: The Last Donnycorn (V2) DVD.
- Irony: Blossom wanted to win the election to become president, after a debate with Morbucks, she's giving the position to Matt Manser instead.
- The silly face Blossom makes as the “Fart Queen” is similar to Frankie’s face expression in the FHFIF episode Setting a President when the presidential campaign talks about dirty, smelly pigs.
- Running gag:
- When someone makes farts noises at Blossom, meaning she named herself as "The Fart Queen".
- Morbucks made a campaign video of Blossom just to make her look bad.
